While incarcerated, reading is often the best use of time. Please note that books and magazines, puzzles, and word searches ordered for inmates must come directly from the publisher. This policy ensures that the items are new, untampered, and comply with the facility's regulations. Prisons and jails enforce this rule to prevent the introduction of contraband or prohibited materials. By restricting orders to publishers, the facility can better maintain security and control over the content entering the institution. Any books or magazines not received directly from the publisher will be rejected and not delivered to the inmate. You may, however, send letters and selfies to inmates with this easy-to-use app, packages starting at only $8.00.
Many changes have taken place at the Oklahoma State Penitentiary (OSP). Recently with the approval of the legislature, the departmental executive staff has made decisions that will significantly change the looks and operations at OSP. As part of this transition, the current administration building and rotunda will close. The institutions had previously already closed "G" and "I" units and in 2012 closed the "F" cell house. Renovations to be made at OSP include the building of a new technological friendly; administration building. The closure of these outdated structures will significantly reduce utility and maintenance expenditures.
Oklahoma State Penitentiary is maximum security state prison located in McAlester OK run by the Oklahoma Department of Corrections for adult male inmates. The institution will have five remaining housing units, H-unit housing Oklahoma's Death Row, D and E units "Mental Health Units" and A and C units "General Population". Plans are also being made to construct a security "stun" fence to be installed along with a double security fence reducing the necessity of utilizing armed tower officers. Several new technologies will be introduced to include proximity readers and visitation.
While renovations have already begun, it will take several months until the transition is completed. The changes being made will make OSP much smaller and a more manageable institution. The modernization and technological improvements will greatly enhance security and provide a safer environment for both staff and the offender.
OSP maintains a database of current inmates and their locations within the system. To locate an inmate, begin by using the DOC locator tool, which requires entering the first three letters of the inmate's first and last name, allowing for variations in spelling.
If unable to locate the desired information through free resources, users may opt to use the Arrest Record Search, which requires payment. While this option incurs a small fee, it provides access to the most up-to-date data available.
